ICA/PAAG resources:

http://www.ica.org/en/survival-kit

The Survival Kit provides basic resources to those archivists who face the challenge of organizing and managing photographic and audiovisual material. Archivists can consult the Survival Kit when faced with the question, “what do I need to know to perform an appropriate archival operation on photographic or audiovisual records?”

http://www.ica.org/en/paag-pcom-chronology-photographic-and-audiovisual-media

A Chronology of Photographic and Audiovisual Media depicts the evolution of different technologies and media: cinema, photo, sound and video. The chronology compares what is happening for each technology in different periods using nearly 100 illustrations. The chronology can be experienced as a poster highlighting the most remarkable events in the evolution of photography, film, television and video, and sound, or as a more thoroughgoing website with more text and images than contain in the poster.

http://www.ica.org/en/case-studies-1

The Case Studies address the fundamentals of processing photographic and audiovisual archives, with an eye toward future research. For each case the specificities of a collection are highlighted and solutions are explained. There are six case studies and PAAG would like to significantly increase its offerings.
